We provide a brief review of human mobility science and present three key areas where we
expect to see substantial advancements. We start from the mind and discuss the need to …

Landmarks are accepted as one of the vital elements in both virtual and real environments
during wayfinding tasks. This paper provides an overview of the existing literature on the …

Abstract In The Image of the City Lynch describes how individuals perceive and recall
features in urban spaces. The most distinctive elements in the urban landscape-categorised …

This article addresses the problem of incorporating cognitively salient landmarks in
computer-generated navigation instructions. On the basis of a review of the existing …

Dominant approaches in computer-assisted wayfinding support adhere to the deeply
problematic principles of turn-by-turn navigation. In this article, we suggest a new approach …

Virtual 3D city models increasingly cover whole city areas; hence, the perception of complex
urban structures becomes increasingly difficult. Using abstract visualization, complexity of …

Turn-by-turn instructions of navigation systems do not fully correspond to the way in which
people typically communicate spatial information to each other. Previous research …

A hierarchical data model is needed in mobile navigation systems to generate route
instructions on multiple levels of detail (LODs), thereby adapting to users' various …

In the era of smartphones, route-planning and navigation is supported by freely and globally
available web mapping services, such as OpenStreetMap or Google Maps. These services …

The process of urban landmark-based navigation has proven to be difficult to study in a
rigorous fashion, primarily due to confounding variables and the problem of obtaining …
